[Pierre-Marie Baty]

About the meeting with Bush, I am finding the policy of my *cough* president *cough* Jacques Chirac particularly stupid these days. Which in a sense reassures me a bit, since stupidity, selfishness and escaping justice in the pure Berlusconi style used to be what characterized the man. I suppose now it's that he's made enough rambling about ethics and human rights (a must for such a guy!), and that the sound of fluttered banknotes is starting to ring old bells in his ears again.
